In winter, the 'fire pit' becomes a natural meeting point where visitors and locals from Al Dhafra region gather. Some reach out their hands for warmth, while others sit nearby sipping a cup of Arabic coffee, tea, or 'qahwa'. It's a true winter atmosphere where the scent of wood blends with the aroma of coffee, and quiet conversations create a simple human moment reflecting the spirit of the place. With winter's arrival, the place transforms, and warmth takes on a new meaning. At the Al Dhafra Festival finale, the 'fire pit' stands as one of the most heartwarming scenes and a winter landmark, uniting necessity, nostalgia, and tradition. Amidst the winter chill and breezes, the fire burns with its usual calm, granting the place a warmth that transcends embers and reaches souls. Here, the 'fire pit' is not merely a heating tool but an extension of a lifestyle lived by ancestors in winter. Back then, fire was the companion of long nights, the hearth of hospitality, and a symbol of generosity and community. The Al Dhafra Festival revives this image, offering visitors a living traditional experience that touches upon the details of old life and brings newer generations closer to their heritage in an organic way.
